Angela Parr and Daniel Glass’s relationship began as strictly professional. The two attorneys first met when they worked together for a few months, and nearly two years passed before they went on their first romantic date. Almost four years later, after a private dinner on the beach in Punta Cana, Daniel proposed with his grandmother’s ring. “He said he felt the last three and a half years were the best of his life and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life loving me,” says Angela. A DC-centric wedding followed a year later at the Newseum.

Bride’s Gown: Daniela Cermanova, Green and Blue Studio. “My gown was custom-made from Japanese silk that was gifted to my grandmother by my grandfather before they were married during World War II. The silk remained untouched in a steamer trunk through all those years until it was gifted to me for my wedding dress,” says Angela.

Decor Details: Dan’s grandfather’s tallit [prayer shawl] was attached to the top of the chuppah where the couple were married. The guest book was a piece of wall art that used a graphic pattern carried through from the invitation. Guests signed the blank spaces, and it was hung in the bride and groom’s home.
